This just means that your plugin took longer than 10 seconds to check your web page, so it stopped executing early, before the check completed. The problem could be with your network or your web server. If the internet connection on your Nagios server otherwise seems pretty fast then it's probably your web server. There are lots of things that could slow down a web server though, and I'm not sure I want to speculate on what it could be (but it usually boils down to getting more traffic than your hardware or software can handle).
